Location: Cardboard box in PA - not homeless, I've just spent half my life moving and I get uncomfortable when I don't move and I'm feeling the itch.

S/C/G: 193/181/130

Height: 5'6"

5'6" I am 186 currently and I'm a size us womens 12 or juniors 13/14 but I won't buy anything that says 14 only (personal phobia, I've never had a pair of size 14 pants). Shoes are everything from a 7-9, I have narrow feet.

I have shirts from medium to XL, its mostly what it is and how its cut. I'm a DD so I end up buying for length so I don't have to worry about ride up. My arms seem proportionate but I can't wear cap sleeves or anything that gathers across the bicep - they always feel tight, even in an XL. I personally go for 3/4 length sleeve if I can find them.

Now dresses are a tad weird - I am true hourglass shape and sometimes I can wear smaller sizes in A-line dresses or fit-and-flare. I was just at Kohls looking at clearance and tried on a size 8 dress that fit perfectly due to cut and some stretch over my boobs. I also bought my first "size 4" dress 2 years ago when I was 155 pounds. I think both were mislabeled after googling what the measurements should be for those sizes and I have no clue how I got my boobs in them.

I'm 5'6" and 143lbs.
Tops: US size 6/8, or usually a medium.
Pants: US size 10/11.
Shoes: US size 10.5. Sometimes a 10, sometimes an 11. I have big/wide feet.

My body is like a cross between a ruler and a pear body type. I carry a lot of weight in my legs, but don't have wide hips or a big butt. Sometimes I can only find pants that fit comfortably around my legs, but are too loose around my hips and bum. I always need a belt.

My arms are giant still, and I have boobs for days but I've been really happy to shop for clothes recently. I like the dress bit the most, because I can buy junior miss dresses again, which are more my style.
